Scotch College

Perelberg Award

Perelberg Award nominations sought

The Perelberg Award – an annual award for ‘Exemplary Scotch Spirit’ is alternately granted one year to a current student or to one who left the previous year, and the next to an Old Scotch Collegian. This year the award will be made to an Old Boy who has demonstrated ‘Exemplary Scotch Spirit’.

The award is made in memory of a former student of Scotch, Ashley Perelberg, a member of the Class of ’92, who died in 1993 from a heart attack while training during his first year at university. Ashley had been very well known at Scotch for his full and enthusiastic involvement in many aspects of the school – he exemplified what we often refer to as the ‘Scotch Spirit’: striving for personal excellence while recognising and serving the needs of others, applying high personal standards and showing compassion for those not able to reach those same standards.

Ashley’s family wished to create a perpetual memorial to him, and presented a magnificent award – a silver sculpture depicting the penguin parade at Phillip Island – inspired by Ashley’s devotion to the annual Scotch-at-Cowes camps. The Perelberg Award is permanently displayed in the Senior School Library, and the winner each year receives a splendid silver replica. Last year’s recipient was School Vice-Captain Ash Vines.

Nominations for the 2012 Perelberg Award are being sought from the Scotch Family; those eligible for the award are Old Boys of Scotch College.

Please direct enquiries to the Principal’s office on 9810 4321.
